Main Rotor Installation Install the main rotor blades as shown using 3, 1.5 mm socket head screws provided. Do not overtighten the screws in the blade grips. The screws should be just tight enough so some friction is felt when you move the blades, but still loose enough for the blades to move easily. CAUTION: Do not use thread locking compound on the screws or grips. Thread locking compound will degrade the blade grip material and could cause a failure of the grip.

Installing the Flight Battery 1. 2. 3. 4. Lower the throttle. Power on the transmitter. Center the throttle trim. To allow the ESC to arm and to keep rotors from initiating at startup, turn on throttle hold and normal flight mode before connecting the flight battery. 5. Attach hook material to the helicopter frame and loop material to the battery. 6. Install the flight battery on the helicopter frame. Secure the flight battery with a hook and loop strap. Connect the battery cable to the ESC.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2/DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. Binding Procedure 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter. 2. Refer to the Transmitter Setup Table to correctly set up your transmitter. 3.
Rudder Collective Pitch Side View Side View Motor Control Test Place the helicopter outdoors on a clean, flat and level surface (concrete or asphalt) free of obstructions. Always stay clear of moving rotor blades. 1. The motor beeps twice when the helicopter’s ESC arms properly. Before you continue, confirm that TH HOLD is ON. 3. Set the transmitter to normal flight mode. Ensure the throttle is lowered completely. Turn throttle hold off at this time.
Blade Trio 180 CFX Pre-Flight Checklist ❏ Check all screws to ensure that they are tight ❏ Check main and tail blades to ensure they are not damaged ❏ Check all links to make sure they move freely, but do not pop off easily ❏ Check that flight battery and transmitter battery are fully charged ❏ Check all wires to ensure that they are not cut, pinched, or chaffed and are properly secured ❏ Check all wire connections ❏ Check gears to make sure no teeth are missing ❏ Do a complete control test ❏ Check that the
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Once the battery reaches 9V under load, the ESC will continuously lower power supplied to the motor until complete shutdown occurs. This helps prevent overdischarge of the Li-Po battery. Land immediately once the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to fly after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty. Repeatedly flying the helicopter until LVC activates will damage the helicopter battery.
Advanced Settings The 180 CFX default settings are appropriate for most users. We recommend flying with the default parameters before making any adjustments. WARNING: To ensure your safety, always disconnect the motor wires from the ESC before performing the following steps. After you have completed the adjustments, reconnect the motor wires to the ESC before attempting to fly the model.
Entering Gain Adjustment Mode DX6, DX6e and DX6i Users: 1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. 2. Power ON the transmitter. 3. Install the flight battery on the helicopter frame, securing it with the hook and loop strap. 4. Connect the battery connector to the ESC. 5. Before initialization is complete, move and hold both transmitter sticks to the bottom right corner as shown. DX7s, DX7 (G2), DX8, DX8 (G2), DX9, DX18 and DX20 Users: 1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. 2.
The current gain value for the selected parameter is indicated on the Flight Log screen and by the angle of the swashplate (forward or backward) as shown in the table below. Swash Position Full backward 50% backward Level forward and backward 50% forward Full forward Gain Value 0% 50% 100% 150% 200% Move the cyclic stick forward or backward to adjust the gain value. Moving the stick forward will increase the gain value. Moving the stick backward will decrease the gain value.
Adjusting the Servo Neutral Position With the model in Servo Adjustment Mode, the control stick and gyro inputs are disabled and the servos are held in the neutral position. Check the position of the servo arms to see if they are perpendicular to the servos. • If the arms are perpendicular to the servos, no adjustment is necessary. Exit Servo Adjustment Mode. • If one or more servo arm is not perpendicular to the servos, continue the servo adjustment process.
